Peru High School, Oh Peru High School
Peru High School, We're all for you
We will fight for the gold and black
And the glory of old Peru.
Never daunted, we cannot falter,
In the battle we're tried and true,
Oh Peru High School
Oh Peru High School
Oh Peru High School we're all for you.

    We're for you Peru High.
